Solo travel experience
I went to Colombia as a solo female traveler who doesn’t speak any Spanish. It was safe but I hung out only in the tourist areas. I rode Uber everywhere, it was cheap there for short rides around the city. I visited Medellin and Cartagena. Cartagena is more fun and beautiful. Overall it was a good experience but I didn’t like too many peddlers soliciting wherever I went.
Posted: November 7, 2023Solo travel experience
I visited Medellín, Cartagena, and Barranquilla. I flew from Cancún to Medellín, then from Medellín to Cartagena, Cartagena to Barranquilla, and finally Barranquilla back home. As for transportation, I used airplanes for all my trips. I paid with a card for almost everything, and they give you a good exchange rate. In Medellín, I stayed in Provenza and honestly found a super cheap Airbnb. I visited Guatape, it's beautiful and you shouldn't miss it. The food is delicious, especially the cheese, and chocolate. I returned at 4 a.m. once, and to be honest, I felt safe. In Cartagena, I stayed in Morros City, where I had a spectacular view. Everything was close to me except the downtown area, which wasn't far away, but I preferred to use a taxi or Uber. You can use Uber without a problem, it's very cheap, and also taxis, but you should ask how much they will charge for everything. In terms of safety in Cartagena, you should be more careful, especially at night, and avoid walking in the early morning, that's all.

I spent 14 days in Colombia with a very low budget. It was my first time getting on a plane, and I visited Santa Marta and Cartagena, where I felt very safe. I met kind and helpful people along the way. I was quite scared, but now I feel like I'm capable of anything. I highly recommend Parque Tayrona if you love nature. It's a true paradise.
